Issue Position: Redevelopment of the Former General Motors Plant in Doraville

Issue Position

By: Elena Parent

At 165 acres, the former GM plant parcel is an excellent redevelopment -- and economic development -- opportunity for Doraville, for DeKalb County and for Atlanta.

The former plant has a MARTA stop attached, and with smart planning, it can become a model for future livability and sustainability initiatives.

It has the potential to create over 6,000 jobs and be a new urban mecca in our region, as well as a large new revenue base.

I'll work with Doraville and DeKalb County to ensure that any development is environmentally friendly, smart, and sustainable, with long-term high-paying jobs.
